Method

1. In a large mixing bowl add flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.

2. In a medium mixing bowl add butter, sugar and honey. Using a hand held blender, mix on high for several minutes, until the mix is light and creamy.

3. Add egg and vanilla to butter mixture and blend again to combine.

4. Add the blended mixture to the prepared dry ingredients. At this stage you can also add dried fruit, nuts, ground spices etc. to the maximum of 3/4C.

5. Fold mixture until well combined.

6. Place a honeywrap or length of plastic wrap onto bench and transfer 1/2 the mixture onto it. Create a tidy log approx. 10cm in diameter.

7. Gently fold the wrap over the mixture, pressing down to create an even round log. Tightly twist the edges to seal. Repeat with remaining dough.

8. Place the cookie dough into the fridge for at least 3 hours to set, or in the freezer for 1 hour if required.

9. When ready to cook, preheat oven to 180° and line a baking tray with baking paper.

10. Remove dough from fridge and use a sharp knife to slice 1cm discs. Leave plenty of room on the oven tray between each cookie (these tend to double in size!)

11. Place into preheated oven and cook for 12-14 minutes. Remove when golden brown on top and slightly soft to touch.
